Serial No. 768,656.

To all whom, 2'25 may concern Be it known that I, CLAUDE BORDIER, acitizen of the French Republic, residing at Kilbourn Siding, Lavalcounty, Province of Quebec, Canada, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Jolters for Sacking-lliachines; and I do hereby declarethat the following is a full, clear, and eXact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same.

The invention to be hereinafter described relates to jolters for sackingmachines.

In order to more clearly disclose the construction, operation, and useof the invention, reference should be had to the accompanying drawingsforming part of the present application.

Throughout the several figures of the drawings like reference charactersdesignate the same parts.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a central, vertical, lateral, cross sectionthrough a sacking machine, with the invention ap plied; Fig. 2 is a topplan view of the jolter; and Fig. 3 is a fragmentary side eleration ofone of the jolter guides.

The main objects of the invention are to provide a simple, durable,economical, and compact jolter which may be quickly and easily appliedto and used on a sacking machine without change or alteration of themachine.

is flexibly connected to a reciprocable cross head or beam 5 theopposite ends of which are provided with heads 6 slidably mounted inguide ways 7 which are removably secured to the frame work of themachine in any suitable manner. This beam 5 carries a number of jolterheads 8 consisting of a wire frame having somewhat the shape of a narrowelongated U with each side bent outwardly at an an le at a point aboutmidway of its length, and the bottom curved inwardly as at 9. The freeends of the frame are screw threaded as at 10 and passed through thebeam. These ends are provided with nuts 11 at the opposite faces of thebeam. By turning these nuts, the length of the members 8, beyond thebeam 5, may be regulated as desired. The opposite bends in each of themembers 8 permit them to yield or flex, slightly, so that the blow theystrike will not be too hard or sudden. This, also, prevents tearing,cutting, or other injury to the bag or sack. The inward curves 5) act asa further safeguard against such injury. As the end of the member 8engages the bag, the two rounded corners will push into the surfaceuntil the surface between these corners fits the curve, thus providing asmall slack which will be taken up as the member 8 continues its inwardmovement, provided the sack is sufficiently full to offer anyappreciable resistance to the jolting motion of the member 8. The resultis that each olt is in the nature of a sudden but yielding push. Withoutthe curve 9, the action would be more of a sudden poke, and without thespread of the members 8 at their longitudinal centers, there would be noyielding action.

It is thought that the construction, operation, and use of the inventionwill be clear from the preceding detailed description.

Changes may be made in the construction, arrangement, and disposition ofthe several parts of the invention without in any way departing from thefield and scope of the same, and it is meant to include all such withinthis application wherein only a preferred form has been disclosed.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desireto secure by Letters Patent is:

1. In a device of the character described, a crank shaft, a movablebeam, connections between said beam and shaft, and yielding jolter headscarried by said beam.

2. In a device of the character described,

a crank shaft, '21 reciprocable beam, guide heads, and adjustableconnections between ways for the opposite ends of said beam said headsand said beam. 16 connections between said beam and said In Witnesswhereof I have hereunto set crank shaft, and yielding jolter heads carmyhand in the presence or two Witnesses. l'ied by said beam. v CLAUDEBORDIER.

3. In a device of the character described, Htnesses: a crank shaft, amovable beam, connections L. A. GAUVIN, between said sh aft and beam,yielding jolter A. BASTIEN.

Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressingthe Commissioner of Patents, Washington, D. C.
